Spring is in full bloom, making it the perfect time to refresh your home and garden. Taylors Lakes Homemaker offers everything you need for a seasonal revamp, from vibrant outdoor spaces to stylish living areas. Let’s explore some fantastic ideas to help you embrace the beauty of spring.
What to Grow
Spring is the ideal time to start your vegetable patch, and growing your own fresh produce has never been easier. Try planting fast-growing, delicious crops that thrive in the warmer months.
Peppery Rocket
Rocket is a fast-growing, peppery green that’s perfect for adding flavour to salads and sandwiches. It thrives in both pots and garden beds, preferring a sunny or partially shaded spot. Sow seeds directly into well-drained soil and keep the ground moist for steady growth. Rocket is quick to mature, and you can start harvesting leaves as soon as they are large enough, typically within 4-6 weeks.

Refreshing Cucumbers
Cucumbers are a refreshing, fast-growing vegetable perfect for spring planting. They thrive in warm, sunny spots with well-drained soil. Plant seeds or seedlings in raised garden beds or large pots, ensuring they have plenty of space to spread or climb. Keep the soil consistently moist, and add a trellis or support for vine varieties to grow upward. Within 8-10 weeks, you’ll have crisp, juicy cucumbers ready to harvest, ideal for salads, pickling, or snacking.

Spicy Radishes
Radishes are a fast-growing and versatile vegetable, perfect for adding a crisp, spicy flavour to your spring dishes.. Radishes prefer well-drained, loose soil and plenty of sunlight. To ensure even growth, sow seeds directly into the ground or in containers, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Within just a few weeks, you’ll have a ready-to-harvest crop that’s perfect for salads, sandwiches, and garnishes.
